Contingent Bodies

My work blend realism, illustration and expressive painterly gestures
in a chaotic and visually charged landscape. Contingent Bodies, focuses
on the representation of bodies in transformation – both organic and
unfamiliar. The painting’s surface is used to transform energies and
refabricate the body with suggestions of contamination, connectivity
and displacement, reflecting my cultural history as a Hungarian, Romani
and Canadian. Fragmented bodies emerge in the play between abstraction
and figuration, embedded in perpetual rootlessness, containing exile
and otherness within themselves. These polymorphic figures confront
sexual and cultural categorization, recasting the body as part
imaginary and part construct. Exploring notions of the cyborg and the
prosthetic, these figures exist between the human and post-human,
biotechnological and sexualized bodies, and the fashion industry and
anime.
